Army of Sorrow (Donegal Sidhe #1)
by
Gail Wagner (Goodreads Author)
Being a leprechaun was so boring! Though Brea had a loving family and an amazing best friend, she was a trian—the third child in a leprechaun family. Leprechauns usually only have two children, each with a gift; the ability to fix things, affect the weather, talk to animals, or heal. Every once in a while, a third child was born. They were always very powerful. Except Brea...more

If you want to visit another world, this is the book. The author got me into the minds of the characters, and what interesting characters! Now I've finished the book and am back to this world. But being a human is so boring....Must read the book again!

Wow, this was awesome....so looking forward to the next. You are a talented author and did a great job with one of my favorite subjects.
Donegal Sidhe: Army of Sorrow is a fast paced historical fantasy. It is based in modern day Ireland told from the point of view of Brea a leprechaun and her friends. She has to protect Ireland from an evil demon Caoranach, which St. Patrick banished according to Irish folklore.
The book has both action and some romance, but remains appropriate for all ages. I enjoyed the fresh fast paced plot. It was a well written book.

oh sounds fun
I liked this book. I hope there is a 2nd one.
A very enjoyable story. I could feel the characters pain and joy. I recommend this book to everyone.
Welcome to a world of human and faerie, escape with Brea as she fights to protect her friends and Ireland from banshees and the evil demon Caoranach. Join her on an extraordinary journey, as she learns she is so much stronger and unique than she believes herself to be. A very well written, magical tale, appropriate for any age. I received this book through the Goodreads First Reads Program for free.
An amazing debut novel along the lines of Fablehaven, Twilight, and Harry Potter. Gail Wagner gives us an inside look at the lives of modern day leprechauns through a "young" trian named Brea. Interwoven within the human and faerie world, this creative and unique story is never short on adventure, suspense, or romance. It will leave you impatient for the sequel!
Second chance. Hoping on my four-leaf-clover this Eire lass wins this time!

Gail has always had a love of books. She was the kid you saw walking down the hall with her nose in a book, the one who read under her desk while the teacher taught, and the one who had already read all the required reading assignments just for fun. She never wanted to be an author, in fact she hated writing! Gail finds it highly ironic that this is what she decided to do "when she grew up."
